Nice Bike!

I got my first dually a few months back, and it's fantastic compared to my then 5yr old hardrock comp. Definitely smooths out the trail and makes the ride way more comfortable. But then I've never ridden a hardtail with a really good fork up front, I imagine that could be "almost" as good as a dually.

Now you'll be trying to push the limits to find out how much it takes to use up all the travel

A 2 foot drop a couple of weeks ago (my first real sizeable one) is finally when I used about 98% of my travel - compared to the 80% or less on normal rides
